The timing is perfect. Trevor Hoffman is in the Baseball Hall of Fame. A powerful flood of memories and emotions has overwhelmed the San Diego sports community. I can’t even think of Trevor without hearing AC/DC in the jukebox of my mind. Crazy to think that Hells Bells didn’t even become a “thing” for Trevor […]

It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Want to Rock and Roll)
After three years of excruciating debate amongst Padres fans on how much the BBWAA members are biased and horrible, Trevor Hoffman was named to the National Baseball Hall of Fame’s 2018 class.
HOFfman – It’s In The Name
Today is a good day. Despite what the critics think or have to say, today is one of those days you can never take away from Padres fans. It’s a day we don’t get very often and we may never get again. One of our own is in the Hall of Fame. In his sixteen […]
Closure With Our Closer
To this day I couldn’t recite a single quote from Trevor Hoffman. Honestly, I probably couldn’t pick out his voice if given a blind test. This is because the Trevor that lives in my mind emerges from the bullpen to ACDC’s Hells Bells, makes it to the mound, destroys three non-descript dudes, and walks away. […]
The Battle of the Sexists
A couple of weeks ago Dan Sileo announced he would be leaving the Mighty 1090. In the following days Sileo would make it sound like he chose to leave 1090, but a spokesman from 1090 informed that his contract simply expired. Whether 1090 or Sileo decided not to renew wasn’t clarified, and neither I nor 1090 seemed […]
Just The 3 of Us – TKF Pod #116

2017: The Year San Diego Grew Two Balls by Losing One.
San Diego did something in 2017 that no other city has done: they didn’t let themselves be held hostage by a professional sports team. I’ve been a conflicted football fan for years now trying to decide if I wanted to support a league that made cities feel small, harbored abusers, and took no interest in […]
Winter Meetings Pod – TKF #113
This week the guys talk about the totally overwhelming mind melting 2018 Winter Meetings that the Padres had in Orlando. Ohtani chose the Angels, while Chase Headley and Freddy Galvis are coming to San Diego. Are the Padres done? It’s hard to tell with Eric Hosmer’s situation still up in there. Then Nick and Travis […]
